Janet Moore and Duane Elverum are helping to create the cities of tomorrow. As co-founders and directors of CityStudio, they have developed an experimentation and innovation hub for the City of Vancouver where staff, experts and students from universities and colleges co-create projects and generate innovative solutions to the complex sustainability challenges that we face in cities today. These projects improve our city and enrich our neighbourhoods, making the city more livable, joyful and sustainable.

In the past three years CityStudio has engaged 127 students in the Studio Program,1878 students in the Partner Course Network, 75 Faculty across six campuses, 40 City of Vancouver staff, and over 100 guests in dialogue and consultation. The program has encouraged participation from over 1500 people at community events and logged over 50,000 hours of training, projects and community action toward collaborative city building.
